From the time when the Turks streamed westward out of their pagan homelands in Central Asia and picked up Islam on the way,they have destroyed but never built. They destroyed Saraceniccivilization when they broke up all the early MohammedanStates of Western Asia, and, wresting the leadership of Islam fromthe more highly gifted Semitic Arabs, they impressed upon it thebaser stamp of their Turanian race. Stout fighters to the presentday, they have contributed nothing of their own to humanprogress, nothing to science or art or literature, and what theyborrowed from Persians and Arabs they have degraded. The firstten Sultans of the House of Othman were great conquerors withsome conceptions of statesmanship, but after them the powerpassed to the effete and blood-stained creatures of the Seraglioand to the corrupt Pashas of the Sublime Porte.

The devastating tide of Turkish conquest, sweeping over theChristian kingdoms and principalities of South Eastern Europe,became a formidable danger to Western civilization until it wasat last arrested outside the gates of Vienna in 1683. It thenswiftly receded.
